This is why people are tech-idiots... even the learing press...

First of all, there are several anti-virus applications that do an adequate job of keeping your PC clean - AVG Anti-virus and Avira AntiVir, to name two... Both of these are loaded on PCs in my home, and neither have failed to do the job. And it's just plain stupid to think that Macs never get viruses... True, Windows machines are more susceptible, but then they are more pervasive making for easier targets.

Secondly, applications like Photoshop Elements are easily replaced with freeware or open-source applications, such as Picasa... except for the operating system, none of our PCs at home have much purchased software; OpenOffice.org does the job for all word-processing, spreadsheets, and even presentations... all in compatible MS Office formats...

Anyway, the adds are spot-on and the Mac is way cool, but if you must have one, build a Hackintosh, yourself...
